Overview

This lesson introduces into the liveview panel - a minimal visualisation tool which offers valueable support for programming your show.

Lecture 4: The live view

The liveView tool is one of the several tool in the tool menue. When creating devices and groups some (animated) icons are automatically generated in the liveview. You can shift these icon to a wanted place by mouse dragging. This way you can model your stage in 2D representation.

It could be helpful to load an background picture for better mapping your stage.

The liveview distunguishes in "single lamp" icons and "group" icons. If you select an group icon all following operational actions are related to each group member.

You can select a set of devices by drawing a frame aound them (this is a kind of temporary group - please do not confuse this with the default groups) or by single selection holding the "Strg" key. Marking such a set of device can also be helpful for positioning the icons.
